Weather.com Selected by OmniSky to Provide Weather Information to Consumers On the Go

weather.com, the leading source of The Weather Channel(R) weather on the Web, and OmniSky Corporation, the provider of a complete wireless Internet service for handheld devices such as the PalmV(R) Connected Organizer, today announced an agreement that will make weather.com the premier provider of real-time weather on personal digital assistants. Under the terms of the agreement, OmniSky users will now be able to access weather.com's reliable, current weather information and five-day forecasts directly from the OmniSky portal channel, located on the OmniSky home page.

"This deal allows weather.com to reach markets that were previously inaccessible," said Debora Wilson, president and chief executive officer for weather.com. "We are pleased to work with OmniSky to cover an unmet need for interactivity on handheld devices. Consumers can access weather.com current forecasts when they want it, wherever they are."

"weather.com is a perfect example of the type of functionality the OmniSky service offers to users on the go. Together, weather.com and OmniSky provide mobile users with real-time, reliable weather information quickly and easily," said Barak Berkowitz, president of OmniSky. "Our goal is to provide our users with the best possible wireless Internet experience--relationships like this one help us to deliver on this goal."
